At first glance, programming an SDRAM controller can seem like a formidable task. Indeed, numerous Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) technologies have been developed. In a never-ending quest for performance and density, many different architectures and modes of operation have been developed. We examine the AMCC PowerPC 405GP processor for this discussion of SDRAM interface considerations. You might want to have a copy of the user manual to reference while we explore the issues related to SDRAM interfacing.
